“Whats happening in TX should serve as a dire warning. Since the abortion ban went into effect, there were 26,313 rape-related pregnancies in TX! These survivors of rape were left with no other option in TX but to carry their rapists pregnancy to term. We should all be outraged!”

“A year after Roe was overturned, 21 states have banned abortion, including Texas’s extreme ban w/ NO exception for rape or fatal fetal anomalies. 1 out of 3 women have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers did. Women across TX & the country are suffering as they’re turned away by doctors afraid to provide treatment for fear of prosecution. We must fight to restore our freedom to make our own healthcare decisions & control our futures w/o govt interference.”
